That's interesting Chris. I've never heard of Hovmantorp before. Hovmantorp appears to be a locality situated in the glass making area of Smaland, Sweden. I just wonder if the label indicates the place of origin or an actual glass works? Does anyone know?

Chris, although similar in shape they are not the same, with your amethyst vase the shape seems more accentuated. (Your floor vase in the previous photo is probably Italian). My vote (on a hunch) would be for Aseda.
